Teachers and Librarians

Hi, teachers, librarians, writing circles and reading groups. That's covered everyone I think. I have a schools page on my website, but I thought I would tell you a little about what I do.

I really enjoy running school workshops and I start with a quiz; this is in the shape of cards with titles on. I hold them up for the children to give me quick-fire answers (this is to break the ice and let the pupils get to know me). I use prop's and mime to make up a story, which the pupils set the characters and plot. I also love doing author talks in assemblies, with a few hundred children. I am very animated and involve everyone in the audience. Not all children like to read, but after seeing me role-play my adventures on stage - even the most reluctant of reader will join in and have fun.

My books are filled with fast-paced excitement, impossible situations and danger that only a super-hero can escape. If you want to know more, go to the Schools Page and check out the pics and info. My books are on the ...wait for it! Books Page.

Adult readers groups and writing circles: I craft my talks so that audiences will enjoy, no matter what age.

Readers Comments:

'The other day I called to pick my twelve year old granddaughter Shanine up. While waiting for her, I picked up her latest book, Wizards' Kingdom by Colin R. Parsons and could not put it down. She also raved about it, and was eager to get her hands on the next one. I was so pleased that she had finished it, so I could take it home. A great read:' Sheila Quigley author of 'Run For Home'.......'Every Breath you take'...'Thorn in my side' and many other award winning novels.
